Python: Comprehensive Guide

The diversity of capabilities in modern Python becomes a challenge for developers of all levels. How can a programmer starting their career understand where to begin so that this challenge does not become overwhelming? How can an experienced Python developer... determine if their programming style is effective? How do you transition from learning individual capabilities to thinking in Python at a deeper level? «Python: Comprehensive Guide» answers these and many other relevant questions.

This book focuses on the fundamental capabilities of Python (3.6 and above), and the code examples illustrate the «mechanics» of the language and teach how to structure programs to make them easier to read, test, and debug. David Beazley introduces us to his unique perspective on how this programming language actually works.

Before you is a practical guide that succinctly outlines fundamental programming topics such as data abstractions, controlling program logic, program structure, functions, objects, and modules that underpin Python projects of any scale.
